Just as an FYI, it is possible to use perl code within config files so that you can use a single config file yet still customize configurations by pc (or groups of pc's) without having to duplicate changes across multiple relatively similar config files each time you change a parameter.
For example, I have a number of windows machines and one linux server. For the windows machines, I use a single config file in /etc/BackupPC/pc and then create links to it for each of my windows machines. I then use perl conditional statements to make some configurations unique by pc (or group of pc's). The trick is that $ARGV[0] is the name of the config file (or link) called and thus can be used to determine the machine. Personally, I find this trick very helpful... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list [email protected] List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
